Last season i did a little urban on my normal skis, but nothing much. This season i'm doin tons of urban, and was wonderin if i should bother with a second pair of skis for it. I have one pair of twins that i normally use, and tons of garage shit ones, but they're all my families old racing skis. What's ur advice?

Don't buy new skis just to trash them man. Either buy a new pair to use on the hill, and use the old ones for urban or just don't urban at all. Your skis will get wrecked.

do you think an old pair of semi-racing skis would work for urban, or do i need a pair of twins?

twins were made so you could land switch. the question is, can you land switch

you clearly don't do much urban if you're worried about the edge damage.

why would you use your skis you use on snow on cement? That makes no sense to me.

I broke my AR5s earlier this year, and have just been using old straight skis for urban since then. Obviously you can't land switch with non twin-tipped skis, but other than that they work fine.

Would I be able to use a pair of old semi-racers?

use your hill skis and just make a good setup and don't fall. that's the best way. i have my one pair of all arounds.. if you do fuck up the bases, it's easily fixable.
